    When you are designing for people with disabilities. Keep this in mind. We live with our disabilities so we already have tools and techniques we use for accessing the world. Allowing us to use those tools and techniques should be something that is part of your design

    What I love about teaching is finding the thing that will light the passion for a11y in the students. It is a joy to watch the growing light of that flame and think about all the wonderful things they will accomplish.

    Don't just make it look like a table, please use proper HTML table markup. When you don't use a table, it means that I as a screen reader user have to remember a lot more.

    My first defect of 2018-radio buttons that aren't radio buttons. Some frameworks try to be too clever for their own good.

    Trying to make a modal dialog accessible. Needing to prevent screen reader from reading background content. Any detailed thoughts or advice? Evidently applying aria-hidden is probelmatic based on where the dialog is injected.
